CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy is issuing an emergency order suspending the license of a Walgreen's pharmacy technician suspected of stealing at least 300 prescription pain relief pills.

The board says Brittany Bertone of Danville may no longer work as a pharmacy technician pending the outcome of criminal charges against her.

Exeter police charged Bertone with stealing at least 300 hydrocodone tablets from her employer, Walgreens, in Exeter. The thefts are alleged to have occurred from June through December of 2012.

Bertone has had a license to practice as a pharmacy technician since November 2010. The board suspended her license Wednesday, saying her continued practice poses an imminent danger to life or health.
